Introduction to full-text search for Emacs notebook

Emacs ORG and muse are used to take a lot of notes, which are scattered in many directories and files. When you are looking for a previous note, how can we quickly and effectively search for the target file? The following describes several common methods:

1. Use the search function of Emacs to search

   Use M-x org-Agenda RET s in Agenda for search;

   Of course, you can also directly use the occur-tree function of org;

   If you want to use the original Emacs search function, you can enter the Dired mode to the directory to be searched, and run the command M-x grep-find ret to perform local full-text search.

2. Built-in search functions of Windows 7

   The built-in search function of Windows 7 also provides the pre-search and indexing function. Therefore, it is convenient to search for text files or HTML files locally.

3. Google Desktop Search

   Download a Google Desktop Search. You can add the release path of your org or muse notes to quickly search this part of content.

   The benefit of this product is that it is accessed through a browser. People like us who have written a lot of HTML notes using the org project, just a little bit of link, the corresponding notes can be opened in the browser, which is really convenient!

   I am used to making Google Desktop only search for my note directories, and the entire hard disk is open to third-party software for search. It feels really bad.

4. Baidu local search

   Baidu also has a search tool similar to Google desktop, which is used in a similar way. After Baidu desktop search is installed, you can access the local search page through the following URL:

   Http: // 127.0.0.1: 7887/& s = 200566888

   This is basically the only Baidu product that I feel satisfied with. It is also basically the only Baidu product that I may use.

5. Use other text editors for local search

   Other text editors basically support searching from directories. You can use this method to search your note directories. Of course, this method is not recommended and does not seem to be a good choice ~~

Are there other better methods? You are welcome to add.
